Isaiah 27

27^aIn that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword

Shall ^bpunish ^cdleviathan the ^||piercing serpent,

Even ^cdleviathan that ^ecrooked serpent;

And he shall slay ^dthe dragon that is in the sea.

^2aIn that day ^fsing ye unto her,

^gA vineyard of red wine.

^3hI the Lord do ⁱkeep it;

I will water it ^jevery moment:

Lest any ^bhurt it, ^hI will ⁱkeep it night and day.

^4kFury is not in me:

Who would ^lmset the briers and thorns against me in battle?

I would ^||go through them, I would ^mburn them together.

⁵Or let him take hold of ⁿmy strength,

^oThat he may make peace with me;

And he shall make peace with me.

⁶He shall cause them that come of Jacob ^pto take root:

Israel shall ^qblossom and ^qbud,

And fill the face of the world with fruit.

⁷Hath he smitten him, ^†ras he smote those that smote him?

Or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?

^8rsIn measure, ^||when it shooteth forth, thou wilt ^tdebate with it:

^||He stayeth his rough wind in the day of ^vthe east wind.

^9wBy this therefore shall ^xthe iniquity of Jacob be purged;

And this is all the fruit ^yto take away his sin;

When he maketh all the stones of the altar as ^zchalkstones that are beaten in sunder,

^aThe groves and ^||aimages shall not stand up.

¹⁰Yet ^bthe defenced city shall be desolate,

And ^bcthe habitation ^dforsaken, and left ^blike a wilderness:

^eThere shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down,

And consume ^fthe branches thereof.

¹¹When ^gthe boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off:

The women come, and ^hset them on fire:

For ⁱit is a people of no understanding:

Therefore ^khe that made them will not have mercy on them,

And ^klhe that formed them will shew them no favour.

¹²And it shall come to pass ^min that day,

That the Lord shall ^nubeat off from ^othe channel of ^pthe river ^qunto the stream of Egypt,

And ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.

¹³And it shall come to pass ^min that day,

That ^rthe great trumpet shall be blown,

And they shall come which were ^sready to perish in the land of Assyria,

And ^tthe outcasts in the land of Egypt,

And ^ushall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
